Abstract
The patient was a 64-year-old man who was treated surgically for an in farct-related ventricular septal perforation. Pseudoaneurysm of the le ft ventricle was recognized on the 38th postoperative day. Emergency s urgery was performed. It seemed that insufficient resection of the inf arcted myocardium was performed during the initial surgery to avoid na rrowing the ventricular dimension by direct closure of the left ventri cle, but this resulted in pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle. Left v entricular free wall plasty with a patch should be performed during th e initial surgery.
